NOTE
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Ever-Glory
International Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is an
apparel manufacturer, supplier and retailer in China, with a wholesale segment
and a retail segment. The Company’s wholesale business consists of recognized
brands for department and specialty stores located in Europe, Japan and the
United States. The Company’s newly established retail business consists of
flagship stores and store-in-stores for the Company’s own-brand products. The
Company’s wholesale operations are provided primarily through the Company’s
wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries, Goldenway Nanjing Garments Co. Ltd.
(“Goldenway”), Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co. Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”) and Nanjing
New-Tailun Garments Co. Ltd (“New-Tailun”). The Company’s retail operations are
provided through its 60%-owned subsidiary, Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company
Limited (“LA GO GO”).
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). Accordingly, they have been condensed and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,2009
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for
the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2008 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009. The Company has made
certain reclassifications to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial
statements to conform to classifications in the current year. These
reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of
operations.
Ever-Glory
International Group Apparel Inc.”(“Ever-Glory Apparel”) a wholly owned
subsidiary of Goldenway, was incorporated in the PRC on January 6,
2009. Goldenway invested approximately $733,500 (RMB 5.0 million) in
cash. On June 30, 2009 Goldenway increased the investment to approximately
$4,395,000 (RMB30.0 million). Ever-Glory Apparel is principally engaged in the
import and export of apparel, fabric and accessories.
On March
23, 2009, Goldenway transfered all of its ownership interest in LA GO GO to
Ever-Glory Apparel.

NOTE
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial
Instruments
Management
has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial
instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
The fair value of amounts due from (to) related parties is not practicable to
estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying
transactions.
Fair Value
Accounting
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Statement No. 157, “Fair
Value Measurements” (“FAS No.157”). SFAS No.157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS No.157
were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued FASB
Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157” (“FSP FAS No.157-2”). FSP FAS No.157-2 delayed
the effective date of FAS No.157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The
provisions of FSP FAS No.157-2 were effective for the Company’s
consolidated financial statements beginning January 1, 2009, and did not
have a significant impact on the Company.
FAS No.157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under FAS No.157 are described below:
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement
date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|
|
Level 2
|
Quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the
asset or liability;
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices
or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to
the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no
market activity).
|
At June 30, 2009, the Company’s
financial assets consist of cash placed with financial institutions management
considers to be of a high quality.
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115”, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial
instruments and liabilities at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis.
Subsequent fair value measurement for the financial instruments and liabilities
an entity chooses to measure will be recognized in earnings. As of June 30,
2009, the Company did not elect such option for its financial instruments and
liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
and Other Comprehensive Income
The
reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of
Ever-Glory and Perfect Dream is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of
Goldenway, New Tailun, Catch-Luck, LA GO GO and Ever-Glory Apparel is the
Chinese RMB.
8
For the
subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the RMB, all assets and liabilities
are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’
equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the statement of
operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The resulting
translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are
included in the results of operations as incurred and amounted to ($1,318),
$27,227, ($1,502) and $217,445 for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 , respectively. Items in the cash flow statement are
translated at the average exchange rate for the period.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In June
2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether
an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF
No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own
stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of
financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument.
EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether
a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own
stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants
exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the
functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). Adoption of
EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007),
“Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the accounting and
disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
noncontrolling interests in a business combination. In April 2009, FASB
issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets
Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amended certain provisions of SFAS
141(R) related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from
contingencies. The Company adopted SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 on January
1, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on
the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company did
not enter into a business combination during the six months ended June 30,
2009.
9
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", or FSP 107-1, which
requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments
within the scope of SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments", be included in interim financial statements. This FSP also
requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis
and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP 107-1 was effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The
adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling
interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements
to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the
noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first
quarter of 2009, which resulted in reporting noncontrolling interest as a
component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and below
income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In addition, the provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be
renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net
income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling
interests for all periods presented. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1,
2009. As a result, the Company has reclassified financial statement line items
within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of
operations and comprehensive income for the prior periods to conform with this
standard.
In June
2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification,
as the single source of authoritative United States
accounting and reporting standards applicable for all
non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The
Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective
for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.
Therefore, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, all references made to US
GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB. As
the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, it is not
expected to have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.

Amounts Due From Related
Party
Jiangsu
Ever-Glory is an entity engaged in importing/exporting, apparel-manufacture,
real-estate development, car sales and other activities. Jiangsu Ever-Glory is
controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Because of PRC government’s
restrictions on the Company’s ability to directly import and export products,
the Company utilizes Jiangsu Ever-Glory as its agent, to assist the Company with
its import and export transactions and its international transportation
projects. Import transactions primarily consist of purchases of raw materials
and accessories designated by the Company’s customers for use in garment
manufacture. Export transactions consist of the Company’s sales to foreign
markets such as Japan, Europe and the United States. As the Company’s agent,
Jiangsu Ever-Glory’s responsibilities include managing customs, inspection,
transportation, insurance and collections on behalf of the Company. Jiangsu
Ever-Glory also manages transactions denominated in currencies other than the
Chinese RMB at rates of exchange agreed between the Company and Jiangsu
Ever-Glory and based upon rates of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of
China. In return for these services, Jiangsu Ever-Glory charges the Company a
fee of approximately 3% of export sales. For import transactions, the
Company may make advance payments, through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, for the raw
material purchases, or Jiangsu Ever-Glory may make advance payments on the
Company’s behalf. For export transactions, accounts receivable for export sales
are remitted by the Company’s customers through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, who forwards
the payments to the Company. The Company and Jiangsu Ever-Glory have agreed that
balances from import and export transactions may be offset. Amounts
due to (from) Jiangsu Ever-Glory are typically settled within 60-90 days.
Interest of 0.5% is charged on net amounts due at each month end. Interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $160,912,
$263,491, $45,197 and $75,464, respectively. Following is a summary of import

NOTE
9 CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS
The
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of
business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management
performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for
potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis.
Based on management’s assessment of the amount of probable credit losses, if
any, in existing accounts receivable, management has concluded that no allowance
for doubtful accounts is necessary at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting
period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis,
management primarily considers the age of the customer’s receivable and also
considers the credit worthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of the
customer’s industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other
factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its
original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company’s future

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and corresponding notes included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking
statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties,
such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and
the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those
set forth under the Risk Factors and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,”
“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify
forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our
Business
We are a
leading apparel manufacturer, supplier and retailer in China, and the first
Chinese apparel company listed on the NYSE Amex.
We
classify our businesses into two segments: wholesale and retail. Our wholesale
business consists of wholesale-channel sales made principally to established
brands, department stores and specialty stores located throughout Europe, the
U.S., Japan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). We have a focus on
well-known, middle-to-high grade casual wear, sportswear, and outerwear brands.
Our retail business which consists of retail-channel sales directly to consumers
through full-price retail stores located throughout the PRC.
Although
we have our own manufacturing facilities, we currently outsource most of the
manufacturing to our strategic alliances as part of our overall business
strategy. Outsourcing allows us to maximize our production capacity
and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of
keeping skilled workers on production lines during low season. Our management
oversees the long-term contractors and inspects products manufactured by them to
ensure that they meet our high quality control standards and timely delivery.
Our annual production capacity including outsourcing orders is in excess of 12
million pieces.
On
January 6, 2009, we established Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc.
(“Ever-Glory Apparel”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldenway. Ever-Glory
Apparel is principally engaged in the import and export of apparel, fabric and
accessories. In order to reduce related transaction, we have been gradually
shifting our export and logistics business to Ever-glory Apparel step-by-step,
We previously utilizes our affiliate Jiangsu Ever-Glory International Group
Corporation to provide export and logistics services to us.
On March
23, 2009, Goldenway transferred all of its ownership interest in LA GO GO as
described below to Ever-Glory Apparel
Wholesale
Business
We
conduct our original design manufacturing (ODM) operations through four
wholly-owned subsidiaries which are located in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic
and Technological Development Zone and Shang Fang Town in the Jiangning District
in Nanjing, China: Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc. (“Ever-Glory
Apparel”), Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (“Goldenway”), Nanjing
New-Talent Garments Company Limited (“New Talent”), and Nanjing Catch-Luck
Garments Co., Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”).
21
Retail
Business
We
conduct our retail operations through Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited
(“LA GO GO”), a joint venture of Ever-Glory Apparel and Shanghai La Chapelle
Garment and Accessories Company Limited, located in Shanghai, China. The
business objective of the joint venture is to establish a leading brand of
ladies’ garments and to build a retail and wholesale distribution channel for
the mainland Chinese market.

22
Despite
the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current global economy,
we believe our core strengths will continue to allow us to execute our strategy
for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash
flow.
Seasonality
of Business
Our
business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of wholesale sales
in our third and fourth quarters and higher retail sales in our first and fourth
quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of seasonal wholesale
shipments and holiday periods in the retail segment.
Collection
Policy
Wholesale
business
For our
new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by letters of
credit. For our long-term and established customers with a good payment track
record, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 120 days following
delivery of finished goods.
Retail
business
For
store-in-store shops, we generally receive payments from the stores between
60-90 days following the time of register receipt. For our own stores, we
receive payments at the same time as register receipt.
Global
Economic Uncertainty
Our
business is dependent on consumer demand for our products. We believe that the
significant uncertainty in the global economy and a slowdown in the U.S. and the
European economy have increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our
products as reflected in our revenues for the three and six months ended June
30, 2009 when compared to the same periods in 2008. We have experienced
continued pricing pressure this year. If the global economic environment
continues to be weak, these worsening economic conditions could have a negative
impact on our sales growth and operating margins in our wholesale
segment this year.
In
addition, economic conditions in the United States and in foreign markets in
which we operate could substantially affect our sales and profitability and our
cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Global credit
and capital markets have experienced unprecedented volatility and disruption.
Business credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Some of our
suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow
problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently have not had an
impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. We cannot
predict at this point in time how this situation will develop and whether
accounts receivable may need to be allowed or written off in the
coming quarter.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
We have
identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments,
uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting
standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our
financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using
different assumptions.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue, net of value added taxes, upon delivery for domestic sales
and upon shipment of the products for international sales, at which time title
passes to the customer provided that there are no uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales
price is fixed and determinable and collectability is deemed probable. Retail
sales are recorded at the time of register receipt.
23
Estimates
and Assumptions
In
preparing our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Our estimates are
often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe
to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We are
also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include
the estimated residual value and useful lives of property and equipment, and the
assumptions we made when we used the Black-Scholes option price model to value
the warrants granted.
Inventory
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods related to our
products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the specific
identification method.
Details
regarding our use of these policies and the related estimates are described in
the accompanying notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies that impacted
our financial condition or results of operations.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether
an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF
No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own
stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of
financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument.
EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether
a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own
stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants
exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the
functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). Adoption of
EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the accounting and disclosure for
identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests
in a business combination. In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”),
which amended certain provisions of SFAS 141(R) related to the recognition,
measurement, and disclosure of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination that arise from contingencies. We adopted SFAS 141(R) and
FSP FAS 141(R)-1 on January 1, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we did
not enter into a business combination during the six months ended June 30,
2009.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", or FSP 107-1, which
requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments
within the scope of SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments", be included in interim financial statements. This FSP also
requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis
and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP 107-1 was effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The
adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
24
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling
interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements
to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the
noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first
quarter of 2009, which resulted in reporting noncontrolling interest as a
component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and below
income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In
addition, the provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed
noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income
measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests
for all periods presented. We adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. As a result,
we has reclassified financial statement line items within the our condensed
consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive
income for the prior periods to conform with this standard.
In June
2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification,
as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting
standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of
the SEC and its staff. The Codification, which changes the referencing of
financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending
after September 15, 2009. Therefore, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009,
all references made to US GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system
prescribed by the FASB. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter
existing US GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on our condensed
consolidated financial statements.

We
generate revenues primarily from our wholesale business mainly from
international markets. We also generate revenues from our retail business from
the Chinese domestic market focusing on our own apparel brand: LA GO
GO.
Total
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $21,125,494, a decrease of
12.2% from the three months ended June 30, 2008. Although sales in our retail
business increased significantly during the second quarter of 2009, sales in our
wholesale business decreased 19.8% due to the global economic
slowdown.
Sales to
customers in Europe were $12.2 million or, 57.9% of our total sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 14.3% compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to one major customer
reducing its orders because of the weak economic environment.
Sales to
customers in the U.S. were $3.6 million, or 16.8%, of our total sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 17.7% compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2008. Although one customer in the U.S. increased orders
significantly during the quarter, two customers reduced their orders because of
the weak economic environment.
Sales to
customers in Japan were $2.6 million, or 12.1%, of our total sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 23.0% compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was due to decreased orders from one customer
in the Japanese market in the quarter as more orders were shipped in the first
quarter of this year.
Sales to
customers in the Chinese market were $0.75 million, or 3.5% of our total sales
for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 60.7% compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was attributable to fewer orders
from existing customers in Hong Kong who resell to customers in the
U.S.
Sales
generated from our retail business contributed 9.6% or $2.0 million of our total
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.25 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2008. In the second quarter of 2009 we opened 29 new
LA GO GO stores and closed one store.
Costs
and Expenses
Cost of

the revenue earned, as well as rent for store space used by our retail
business.

There are
two operational patterns in our apparel making and trading business i.e. CMT and
FOB as they are generally called. Under the CMT(abbreviation of Cutting, Making
and Trim) mode, our buyers supply us with main raw materials, and we charge
them for production, where the pressure of cash flow is alleviated and
risks are reduced. Because no material supplied by the buyers is included
in the pricing, only production charges account for the sales volume.
As a result the sales volume appears low while the gross profit is higher. FOB
is a generally adopted business mode where the price is composed of both raw
material and production charges.
Total raw
materials costs decreased 22.8% to $8.9 million in the quarter ended June 30,
2009 versus $11.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. As a percent of
sales, raw materials cost for our wholesale business accounted for 46.6% of our
total wholesale sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 170
basis points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was
primarily due to our recently implemented centralized purchasing function to
increase our negotiating power with our raw material suppliers. In addition, raw
material costs decreased as we increased our CMT orders during the
quarter.
Total
labor costs increased 6.2% to $0.83 million in the three months ended June 30,
2009 versus $0.78 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008. As a percent
of sales, labor costs for our wholesale business accounted for 4.3% of our total
wholesale sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 100
basis points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was
primarily due to increased CMT orders during the quarter.
Total
outsourced production costs decreased 21.6% to $5.5 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 versus $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008.
This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales during the quarter. As a
percent of sales, outsourced production costs for our wholesale business
accounted for 29.1% of our total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009,
a decrease of 60 basis points compared to the three months ended June 30,
2008.
Total
other costs and overhead decreased 14.2% to $0.23 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 versus $0.27 million the three months ended June 30, 2008.
As a percent of sales, overhead and other expenses for our wholesale business
accounted for 1.2% of our total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009, a
modest increase compared to the three months ended June 30,
2008.
27
Production
costs for our retail business were $0.45 million or 22.4% of our total retail
sales in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Rent costs for our retail
business were $0.67 million or 32.8% of our total retail sales in the three
months ended June 30, 2009. A quarter over quarter comparison is not meaningful
as the retail operation was only a small part of the business in the second
quarter of 2008.
Total
cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $16.6 million, a
decrease of 15.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. As a
percentage of total sales, our cost of sales decreased to 78.7% of total sales
for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 81.9% of total sales in
the three months ended June 30, 2008. Consequently, gross margins increased to
21.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 18.1% in the three months
ended June 30, 2008.
Gross
profit in our wholesale business for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was
$3.6 million, a decrease of 14.1% compared to the three months ended June 30,
2008. Gross margin was 18.8% for our wholesale business for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 an increase of 1.2% compared to the three months ended June
30, 2008. The increase in our gross margin was primarily due to the increase in
CMT orders versus FOB orders in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Gross
profit in our retail business for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.90
million and gross margin was 44.8%. A year over year comparison for retail is
not meaningful given that this business was only a small part of the business in
the second quarter of 2008.
Selling,
General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
Our
selling expenses consist primarily of freight-out, unloading costs and product
inspection charges.
Our
general and administrative (G&A) expenses consist primarily of payroll for
executive, finance, accounting, and human resources personnel, office expenses
and professional fees.

Selling
expenses were $0.87 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 an increase
of 134.8% or $0.50 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase was attributable to increased salaries for retail staff of $0.28
million and $0.32 million of renovation and marketing expenses associated with
the promotion of LA GO GO.
G&A
expenses were $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 an increase
of 25.6% or $0.47 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase was partially due to increased payroll for additional management,

Interest
expense was $0.12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease

International Group Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred
net operating losses for income tax purposes through June 30, 2009. The net
operating loss carry forwards for United States income taxes may be available to
reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not
utilized, through 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits
from these losses appears uncertain due to our limited operating history and
continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, we have
provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce
the asset to zero.
Net
Income
Net
income was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of

Sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $41.6 million, a decrease of 5.0%, from
the six months ended June 30, 2008. Although sales in our retail business
increased significantly during the first six months of 2009, sales in our
wholesale business decreased 14.7% due to the global economic
slowdown.
Sales to
customers in Europe were $23.5 million, or 56.4% of our total sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 13.9% compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to two major customers reducing

Sales to
customers in the U.S. were $4.8 million, or 11.5%, of our total sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 28.3% compared to the six

customers, other customers in the U.S decreased their orders because of the weak
economic environment.
Sales to
customers in Japan were $7.2 million, or 17.4% ,of our total sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 24.6% compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to increased orders from
premium brands in the Japanese market.
Sales to
customers in the Chinese market were $1.6 million or 3.8%, of our total sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 57.7% compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was attributable to fewer orders from

open and average revenue per store was approximately $8,200per
month.

Total raw
materials costs decreased 24.0% to $16.1 million in the six months ended June
30, 2009 versus $21.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a
percent of sales, raw materials cost for our wholesale business accounted for
43.3% of our total sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of
530 basis points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease
was primarily due to our recently implemented centralized purchasing function to
increase our negotiation power and the increased CMT orders in the second
quarter.
Total
labor costs increased 5.4% to $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009
versus $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percent of
sales, labor costs for our wholesale business accounted for 3.9% of our total
sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 70 basis points
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Total
outsource production costs for our wholesale business decreased 7.0% to $11.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus $12.6 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2008. As a percent of sales, outsource production costs
were 31.5% of our total sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 260 basis
point increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in
total costs was primarily due lower sales volume this year, while the increase
as a percent of sales was primarily due a strategic decision to outsource more
wholesale production
Overhead
and other expenses for our wholesale business accounted for 1.1% of our total
sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 1.3% of total sales in
the six months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was due to better expense
controls.
Production
costs for our retail business were to $1.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2009. As a percent of sales, retail production costs accounted for 24.4% of
our total sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, Rent costs for our retail
business were $ 1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percent
of sales, rent costs accounted for 37.3% of total sales in the six months ended
June 30, 2009. A year over year comparison is not meaningful as the retail
operation was only a small part of the business in the first half of
2008.
31
Total
cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $32.4 million, a
decrease of 9.3% compared to the same period of 2008. As a percentage of total
sales, cost of sales decreased to 77.9% of total sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to 81.6% of total sales in the six months ended June 30,
2008. Consequently, gross margin increased to 22.1% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 from 18.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2008.
We
purchase the majority of our raw materials directly from numerous local fabric
and accessories suppliers. For our wholesale business, purchases from our five
largest suppliers represented approximately 24.3% and 24.0% of raw materials
purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No one
supplier provided more than 10% of our raw materials purchases for both the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For our retail business, purchases from our
five largest suppliers represented approximately 39.7% of raw materials
purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2009. One supplier provided 10.6% of
our total purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We have not
experienced difficulty in obtaining raw materials essential to our business, and
we believe we maintain good relationships with our suppliers.
We also
purchase finished goods from contract manufacturers. For our wholesale business,
purchases from our five largest contract manufacturers represented approximately
41.5% and 38.8% of finished goods purchases for the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. One contract manufacturer provided approximately
19.8% and 16.3% of our finished goods purchases for the six months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For our retail business, our five largest
contract manufacturers represented approximately 39.0% of finished goods
purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Two contract manufacturers
provided 11.7% and 11.6% of our finished goods purchases for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. We have not experienced difficulty in obtaining finished
products from our contract manufacturers and we believe we maintain good
relationships with our contract manufacturers.
Gross
profit in our wholesale business for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $7.5
million, a decrease of 4.4% over 2008. Gross margin was 20.2% for our wholesale
business for the six months ended June 30, 2009 an increase of 2.2% compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in our gross margin was
primarily due to the increase in CMT orders versus FOB orders in
2009.
Gross
profit in our retail business for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.7
million and gross margin was 38.3%. A year over year comparison for retail is
not meaningful given that this business was only a small part of our business in
the second quarter of 2008.

Selling
expenses were $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 an increase of
179.5% or $1.16 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase was attributable to increased salaries for retail staff of $0.57
million and $0.63 million of renovation and marketing expenses associated with
the promotion of LA GO GO.
G&A
expenses were $4.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 an increase of
28.1% or $0.91 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was
partially due to increased payroll for additional management, design and
marketing staff as a result of our business expansion.

Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $0.24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of
80.2% compared to the same period of 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the
conversion of convertible notes into common stock in 2008.
Income
Tax Expense
Income
tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.56 million, a slight
decrease compared to the same period of 2008.
Net
Income
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.8 million, an increase of
9.0% compared to the same period of 2008. Our diluted earnings per share were
$0.21 and $0.10 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Noncontrolling
Interest
On
January 9, 2008, Goldenway entered into an Agreement with La Chapelle to form a
joint venture to develop, promote and market a new line of women’s wear in
China. Goldenway agreed to initially invest RMB 6 Million (approximately
$826,200) in cash, and La Chapelle agreed to invest RMB 4 Million (approximately
$553,040) in cash, for a 60%- and 40%- interest in the joint venture,
respectively. The joint venture is included in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements beginning in 2008, and the 40% interest held by La Chapelle
is classified as noncontrolling interest. As of June 30, 2009, the
noncontrolling interest was $564,478..
33
Summary
of Cash Flows
Net cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
$2,983,193 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $3,338,211
during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was mainly attributable
to increased accounts receivable as we are allowing longer collection periods
for our long-term customers with good payment track records.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $116,069 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, compared with $1,742,234 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. On
January 9, 2008, Goldenway entered into a Capital Contribution Agreement with La
Chapelle, pursuant to which Goldenway invested $1,397,700 in cash (RMB 10
million) in La Chapelle for a 10% ownership interest in La
Chapelle.
Net cash
used in financing activities was $3,312,482 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, compared with cash used in financing activities of $740,861 during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. In 2009 we repaid $9,908,132 of bank loans while
receiving proceeds from loans from the bank of $6,595,650. In 2008 we repaid
$1,990,000 to Blue Power Holding Ltd, offset by $553,040 from La Chapelle’s
investment in LA GO GO.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $993,869, other current
assets of $29,214,177 and current liabilities of $13,349,259. We presently
finance our operations primarily from cash flow from operations and we
anticipate that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance
our short-term cash needs.
Bank
Loan
In 2006,
we acquired a fifty-year land use right for 112,442 square meters (approximately
1,209,876 square feet) of land in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and
Technological Development Zone, which houses our existing facility of 26,629
square meters (approximately 286,528 square feet), including our manufacturing
facility and office space. In 2006, we completed the construction of our new
facilities and moved our headquarters into the new office building and
consolidated part of our operations into our new manufacturing facility in
January 2007. The new manufacturing facility occupies an area of 10,000 square
meters (approximately 107,600 square feet) and is equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment. The land and building are being used as collateral for bank
loans.
On July
31, 2008, Goldenway entered into credit agreements with a PRC Bank which allow
the Company to borrow up to $7.3 million (RMB50million) for a 24 month period.
Bank loans are secured by our facilities and are used to fund daily operations.
As of June 30, 2009, we had borrowed approximately $3.2 million which matures in
July, August and October 2009, at an interest rate of 5.35% per annum. The
maturity of these borrowings can be extended at our option. On December 8, 2008,
Goldenway borrowed approximately $733,500 which was to mature on December 7,
2009, and bore an interest rate of 5.86% per annum and was secured by our CEO’s
personal property. The loan could be extended at our option. We repaid the loan
in April 2009.
On June
30, 2009, HSBC bank approved a revolving credit facility amounting to $2.5
million to Perfect-Dream. On July 3, 2009, Ever-Glory Apparel entered into
one-year line of credit agreement for RMB40 million (approximately $5.9 million)
with Nanjing Bank.
Long-term
Loan
As of
June 30, 2009, the long-term loan to Blue Power was $2,718,614. Interest accrued
on the loan to Blue power totaled $29,264 and $58,529 for the three and six
months ended June 30,2009.
Capital
Commitments
We have a
continuing program for the purpose of improving our manufacturing facilities. We
anticipate that cash flows from operations and borrowings from banks will be
used to pay for these capital commitments.
The
Articles of Association of our Goldenway subsidiary required that registered
capital of approximately $17.5 million should be paid by Perfect Dream before
December 31, 2009. On July 6, 2009, we obtained the approval from the government
allowing the Company to decrease the registered capital from $17.5 million to
$12.5 million. As of June 30, 2009, we had fulfilled our $12.5
million registered capital obligation.
34
Uses
of Liquidity
Our cash
requirements through the end of 2009 will be primarily to fund daily operations
and the growth of our business.
Sources
of Liquidity
Our
primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be
from cash flows generated from operations, and cash equivalents currently on
hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if
necessary.
We
believe our cash flows from operations together with our cash and cash
equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working
capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through the end of 2009. No
assurance can be made that additional financing will be available to us if
required, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If
funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance
our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from
operations.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had access to a $7.3 million a line of credit. Of this line of
credit, $4.1 million was unused and is currently available. This credit facility
does not include any covenants.
Foreign
Currency Translation Risk
Our
operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, which may give rise to
significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of
volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the
Chinese RMB. Most of our sales are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004 the exchange
rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July
21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09
RMB to the dollar. From that time, the RMB continued to appreciate against the
U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2009, the market foreign exchange rate had increased
to 6.83 RMB to one U.S. dollar. We are continuously negotiating price
adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign
exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations in the future, and will pass some of the increased cost to our
customers.
In
addition, the financial statements of Goldenway, New-Talent, Catch-Luck
Ever-Glory Apparel and LA GO GO (whose functional currency is the RMB) are
translated into US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet
items are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the respective
balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at
historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while
income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the
period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign
currency translation (loss) gain for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was ($43,166) and $611,354, respectively. The foreign currency
translation (loss) gain for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was
($87,374) and $1,711,238, respectively.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to our investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not
use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no
foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term
obligations. We consider investments in highly-liquid instruments purchased with
a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
Interest
Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus,
fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair
value of these securities. On June 30, 2009, we had approximately $993,869 in
cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in either
short term or long term interest rates would not have any material impact on our
earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these
instruments.
35
Foreign
Exchange Rates. We pay our suppliers and employees in Chinese RMB, however, we
sell to customers in the U.S., Japan and Europe and we generate sales in
U.S. Dollars Euros and British Pounds. Accordingly, our business has substantial
exposure to changes in exchange rates between and among the Chinese RMB, the
U.S. Dollar,the Euro and the British Pound. In the last decade, the RMB has been
pegged at 8.2765 RMB to one U.S. Dollar. On July 21, 2005 it was revalued to
8.11 per U.S. Dollar. Following the removal of the peg to the U.S. Dollar and
pressure from the United States, the People’s Bank of China also announced that
the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being
strictly tied to the U.S. Dollar, and would be allowed to float trade within a
narrow 0.3% daily band against this basket of currencies. The PRC government has
stated that the basket is dominated by the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and
South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the British Pound, Thai
Baht, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Singapore Dollar.
There can be no assurance that the relationship between the RMB and these
currencies will remain stable over time, especially in light of the significant
political pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free flotation of the
RMB, which could result in greater and more frequent fluctuations in the
exchange rate between the RMB, the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. On June 30, 2009,
the exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. Dollar was 6.83RMB to one U.S.
Dollar. For additional discussion regarding our foreign currency risk, see the
section titled Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year
ended on December 31, 2008.Fluctuation in the value of Chinese RMB relative to
other currencies may have a material adverse effect on our business and/or an
investment in our shares.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the “Exchange Act”) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
As of
June 30, 2009, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were
effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We know
of no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party which are material or
potentially material, either individually or in the aggregate. We are from time
to time, during the normal course of our business operations, subject to various
litigation claims and legal disputes. We do not believe that the ultimate
disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
